Who doesn’t love Mexican food? I knew I would miss it when I left NM six years ago, but every year away – my cravings for it just get stronger and stronger.

Since adopting a veggie rich lifestyle, I have been determined to find ways to enjoy my beloved Mexican dishes without compromising nutritional value. I hope you enjoy the Lean, Bean and Green Mexican Casserole as much as I do!

Feliz comiendo!
